His newsletter is delivered to my school e-mail on Saturday. I love that I have it set up to go to my school email since I do not check it all that often on weekends or in the summer but when I do I get a little shot of motivation! There are always words of advice, or maybe a little encouragement to try something new or to try again or even some validation of what I am doing or thinking.

Here is a sample from one of the emails:

The second newsletter that is delivered to my inbox each week is from Choice Literacy. I do not have a paid membership, I just receive the email with links to some interesting articles. I like these articles because they are quick reads and I always take away something I can use. I am motivated!! to try something out or find a new book or a new website! Plus there are articles by Franki Sibberson who co-authors the blog A Year of Reading which I love (find very motivating I mean :)) Here is an example.

The last thing that comes to my inbox to motivate me is a Daily Creative Activity from The Beanstalk Project. Yes this one comes daily during the week. They are quick 5 minute activities, sort of like Daily Physical Activity, only these are meant to get your brain moving and creative ideas flowing. Here is an example:

I keep all of the Choice Literacy and Smart Classroom Management newsletters in a folder in my inbox so I can always go back and reference them or reread them when I need a little motivation!!

Can't wait to read all the other ways teachers will be motivating themselves or their students this year!!

I'm soooo glad you posted again about Smart Classroom Management! I signed up the first time you introduced us, but I guess I never confirmed my subscription so I never got any emails! :O( And, of course until now, I forgot about it! I'm signed up for all three now! Thanks Anne for sharing and linking up!JoanneHead Over Heels For Teaching

I've signed up for all of the newsletters and especially look forward to the classroom management one. I got lost reading those articles and already have a few ideas. I'd like to recommend http://www.byrdseed.com/ and its newsletter.
